Wavenet

Wavenet is a managed service provider (MSP) offering cybersecurity, communications, connectivity, and cloud technology solutions to UK businesses and public sector organizations. Founded in 2000, the company initially focused on selling telephone lines and calls and has since grown significantly through a dedicated strategy of acquisitions. The company's headquarters are in Solihull, United Kingdom.

Wavenet has a long history of expansion through mergers and acquisitions, including VIA, AdEPT Technology Group, Falanx Cyber, and Daisy Corporate Services. In May 2021, Macquarie Capital acquired a majority stake, supporting Wavenet's growth trajectory. A major milestone occurred in July 2024 with the completed merger of Daisy Corporate Services, a move that created the UK's largest independent IT managed services and security provider, with a combined turnover of £500m and over 2,000 employees serving more than 22,000 customers. The combined entity will operate under the Wavenet brand. The current leadership team includes Bill Dawson as Executive Chairman and Philip Grannum as Chief Executive Officer.

The company's business model is centered on providing a comprehensive portfolio of managed IT services. This includes cybersecurity with a CREST & CHECK accredited division and a 24/7 UK Security Operations Centre, unified communications (including VoIP and Microsoft Teams integrations), internet connectivity, and cloud infrastructure services. Wavenet serves a diverse client base ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to large corporations and public sector bodies like the NHS. Revenue is generated by delivering these technology solutions, which are designed to be scalable and flexible, often on a recurring basis.
